A primary school teacher in Scoil Mhuire Ballymany and owner of Hats Amore hats and accessories hire in Newbridge, Ann Marie is originally from Kilkenny, and was Thursday's (April 27) deserving winner.

Ann Marie is due to be married in October.

The lucky Kildare lady has won a luxurious VIP trip for two taking in the Bollinger Estate, Reims and Paris, plus a years supply of Bollinger bubbles.

"I can't believe it, I had planned to come today anyway so I was all organised", said Ann Marie.

She is no stranger to winning ways, as in July last year she scooped the best dressed prize on ladies day at the Curragh's Darley Irish Oaks festival.

Judge on the day, TV personality Vogue Williams said; "I always have to come down here, the outfits are incredible and it really was a hard decision".
